Suppressors aren't firearms. Until they are. Whichever way government finds convenient to make this safety equipment harder to have, that's how they'll play it.
Taxes are voluntary. Until you choose to not pay. Then, "You can't have people not paying taxes! How would you fund government?"
Politicians represent the people. Until the people want something politicians don't want. Then they'll do things that destroy your life, "for your own good because we know what's best for you".
Government is whatever government wants. Reality or your wishes don't matter. It's whatever gives it the most power over your life, liberty, and property. Even if it has to be mutually exclusive things simultaneously.
Government is supposedly there to protect your life, liberty, and property, but the reality is that government is the only real threat to those things that you'll encounter on any average day. And even if you occasionally encounter a freelance threat, government is just as likely to protect the criminal from you as you from the criminal. Government is what it pretends to prevent.
Government tells whichever story fits its purpose at the moment. Gullible people believe and parrot the stories.
Government is chaos and nihilism. Government is a scam; a fraud. Government is crime.
Tips are nice.
